Way too good for noobs
This weapon is immortal... as easy and simple as that. The MP-40 has been nerfed several times and although it has changed the way it is carried and the type of combat it is good at, it is still in the "meta" category. Although there are not usually many variations in the loadouts of this SMG, small changes lead to big results. See for yourself.
5. ALL ABOUT SPEED
This loadout is at number 5 not because it is bad, but because few players may be able to control the weapon's recoil. However, once you do, you will be unstoppable! The speed of this MP-40 class is absurd and it's all thanks to the Removed Stock. This attachment allows you to move very fast and, at the same time, have greater hip fire accuracy. Don't worry so much about recoil if you are a newbie, because you also have the advantage of the M1941 Hand Stop attachment that gives you better recoil control.

4. CONTROL
This MP-40 has to be the most controllable of all. You sacrifice a bit of movement speed, but if control and accuracy are more your things, this class is for you. The big difference is that we're going to carry the 317mm Krausnick barrel, which gives us the recoil control we need but don't worry, with the other attachments like the stock you're going to get that movement back that we lose with the barrel.

3. BALANCED
Although the MP-40 does not have uncontrollable recoil, I do hear at times that some players struggle with it. This class not only helps you control the recoil better but also gives you more damage to the enemy's limbs, so you may have a better chance of killing him before he kills you. Overall it's a good build, just not one of the best, in my opinion.

2. FIRE BREATH
This build may seem strange to many players because a lot of them hate incendiary bullets, which is understandable. Sometimes it feels like they don't do any damage but for some reason, when I tried this class... I loved it. I can't say it's my favorite, but the damage of the incendiary bullets and the stability provided by the silencer make headshots destroy the enemy in no time. Worth a try.

1. META
This class has been by far the best these past few seasons. It's fast, it helps you aim and move fast, and best of all, it's super lethal. This baby saved me from multiple occasions when the game seemed to be lost. It just feels great and is a must in your loadouts.
